Abstract


The need for natural gas in Indonesia has developed very rapidly, thus encouraging the construction of many production support facilities. One of them is the Wellhead Platform B (WHP-B) in West Pangkah waters, East Java. This production platform is in shallow water conditions with a depth of less than 5 m and a distance of less than 5 km from the shoreline. Therefore, when the pipe installation process is carried out, a crane barge or construction vessel type cannot be used. To be able to connect the gas flow from the well to the production platform (WHP-B), it requires a supporting structure in the form of a spool and riser. The size of the spool and riser that will be installed on WHP-B is 16” and 6” with the condition that the riser and spool are connected. A crawler crane carried by a barge can be used for the installation process to occur efficiently. For the 16”-6” riserspool to be lowered simultaneously, it requires a temporary structure that serves to clamp the two pipes so that they can be installed simultaneously. This structure is a modification between the padeye and the brace clamp. The process of lowering the 16”- 6” riser-spool experienced a critical condition when it was in the splash zone. Based on the global analysis results, it is known that the UC that occurs is 0.97 with a vertical bending stress of 172.36 MPa in the 3rd padeye-brace clamp structure. After conducting local analysis on the 3rd brace clamp, it is known that the clamp structure is still in a safe condition with a maximum von Mises stress of 2.42 MPa and a maximum deformation of 0.0096 cm.
